PREPARED PLAYSTATION Using unmodified versions of PlayStation games, these works exploits bugs and glitches in the code to create dirty, jolting game loops. Video games are both the medium and the content of the work; no additional footage or editing is used. After being "prepared," the game plays itself perpetually. Prepared PlayStation (RSG-THUG2), 2005 RSG-THUG2 is a four-channel installation using three scenes prepared inside the game Tony Hawk's Underground 2. It was made for the 2005 exhibition "Logical Conclusions: 40 Years of Rule-Based Art" at Pace Wildenstein gallery in New York.
